Hi guys,

I am pleased to announce that FEATHERCOIN has been added to https://www.crypto-coinz.net and from now on you will be able to see the Global Hash Rate and Difficulty of the coin and to calculate your Profitability.
If you have any other issues with using the calculator or site please let me know.

Thanks for that, I've copied your post to the forum. https://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/9253/ftc-added-to-crypto-coinz-net

Re: Feathercoin [FTC] - time proven, fast, secure and unique POW coin

Feathercoin's difficulty algo is seriously broken. Lots of high freq swings ranging from 10 to 50(!). You should have been asking some folks who know about Feedback Control Systems...

The difficulty changes to compensate for the changing hash rate as different multipools switch coins. Unfortunately, you can't see into the future, so it is a balancing act, looking at the latest and long term block rate. Other devs at the time of the introduction / fork,  retained the "difficulty change damping", which I was against, which would have made eHRC react faster.

Current block: 1,785,988
Block halving every: 2,100,000

2.1M
Block halving every

I don't read https://forum.feathercoin.com/. I've read this thread for 1 month and I don't remember there was something about halving at block 1,793,041.


I thought that was funny when I checked it during the recent 0.9.6.1 code review. We did do some extra sanity checks, but it was Lizhi and Ghostlander that looked into halving for 0.9.6 and Bushstar did a lot of work on 0.8.x when we forked to 1 min blocks.

However, I think the 2.1 M is supposed to be the number of fee coins, not blocks.  Note:  It seems the 2.1 M is the bitshift and  the 1.7 M is the revised block after the change to one minute blocks (to maintain 4 years).  I know some time was spent on  it.

Certainly, if anything is else is wrong we'll create an urgent issue...

Thanks for everyone who took an interest in the Feathercoin / Cryptocurrency - Wallet Guide I posted on / pushed to Github.

All the main updates have been done and a re ordering of the guide and improvement of the Table of Contents. The guide was getting long, so that will hopefully, make it easier to read as intended purpose as a new user guide.

There are still some minor tweaks that are awaiting final agreement on release versions functionality (which are in turn relent on agreement of schedule and content of possible forks)

Check out the Guide :

Current  Feathercoin-qt 0.9x. series "Beta Test" / Development version.

I've been working on a cryptocurrency / Feathercoin wallet guide, to go with the next FTC release. The new release has a new set of FTC "material design" flat icons which have been used for the screen shots.

The guide is applicable to Bitcoin-qt or other wallets (0.9.x).

Any comments or issues gratefully received.

Re: [HOWTO] Setup a p2pool for Feathercoin

Status of Feathercoin p2pool software releases

Feathercoin has updated to GPU "only" Neoscrypt algorithm and p2pool updates have been released for a while.

**The Feathercoin neoscrypt p2pool instruction are included in Github repository :**

https://github.com/wellenreiter01/p2pool-neoscrypt

**Ask for further help with p2pool on the Feathercoin Forum**

http://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8384/what-version-of-p2pool-software-to-use-with-feathercoin-neoscrypt/2

The p2pool now installs easy and runs great as your own private pool. The current estimates at current average FTC (neoscrypt) difficulty means you can "Solo mine" a  something like a R9 280 using  NSGminer. It is a good introduction to mining without using ASICs.

Just to let you know, Ghostlander has done  some great updates to NSGminer (neoscrypt miner), give some significant hash rate increase GPU mining Feathercoin (FTC).

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=712650.0

The new "open source" Feathercoin forum is up and running using NodeBB and voting "moderation system" - check it out.

Re: NeoScrypt: The Future of CPU and GPU Mining

Any numbers to indicate this new algo is energy efficient, compared to X11, FRESH, WHIRL, etc? Scrypt generates a lot hot, if NeoScrypt is doing the same or not less significantly, don't see a good point people will be on. Or if the memory is the point with with ASIS will never arrive.

Feathercoin can be switched back to a compatible ASIC at any time in the future, in the same way it is opting out of Scrypt ASIC mark 1. The ASIC development could be done backwards,,

1. Develop an ASIC that can only be run on one algoryth (not scrypt)

2. Change Feathercoin Hashing Algorythm to accept those transactions including updated cpuminer for ASIC and GPU.

I am not sure what you are trying to say here?

The idea of developing neoscrypt for Feathercoin was not to prevent ASICs all together, but prevent Scypt ASICs. Litecoin has a huge hash rate advantage such that pools or large players can coin swap to attack the Feathercoin network. The idea being that, at a later stage, an ASIC would be developed just for Feathercoin.

I am just pointing out that we could design the ASIC first, then change Feathercoin to compatible algorythm. As opposed to designing the ASIC to do neoscrypt.

(Note. Ghostlander implemented the new hashing algo in Phoenixcoin first, Feathercoin will not swap algo till GPU miners are available.)

That's great, we've just added an open Feathercoin Merchant Map, could try adding to that.
